    trying to live
    hand 2: check turn, the shorties usually arent good people to fire 2nd barrels against
    hand 3: fold to flop push, they usually arent doing it with JJ. you have to have a reason to call here usually.
    hand 8: just fold the flop, even if its the base case and they have AK, they have 9 outs. i would usually fold pre too.


    also, stop playing when tired so you can recognize straights
